Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201401258-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Full‐wave rectification of ionic currents</bold> is obtained by constructing the typical four‐diode bridge out of ion conducting bipolar membranes. Together with conjugated polymer electrodes addressed with alternating current, the bridge allows for generation of a controlled ionic direct current for extended periods of time without the production of toxic species or gas typically arising from electrode side‐reactions. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh112xhpg8" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
